• Show HN: RemoteStorage – sync localStorage across devices and browsers

  How does this compare to PouchDB[1]? [1]: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Local-first software: You own your data, in spite of the cloud (2019)

  Meteor wrapped the MongoDB API for this purpose. You are working with collections and can run the same queries over them, regardless of whether you are connected to a DB instance or the browser's local storage. For CouchDB an equivalent exists in the form of PouchDB: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  Not sure if you're thinking more of an official standard but PouchDB is open source and sounds similar to what you're talking about: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Figma Is a File Editor

  I have another use case that DO would be perfect for, and that's sync for offline first apps. I have two offline first apps, both using PouchDB[1] as client database and CouchDB as server database. I'd love to replace CouchDB with DO. Maybe you can hire some of the people contributing to PouchDB to build a backend for it using DO? [1]: https://pouchdb.com. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• This Instagram post... I guess backend code does't belong to git

  PouchDB might be of interest - https://pouchdb.com/ - "PouchDB was created to help web developers build applications that work as well offline as they do online. Source: about 1 year ago

• Better Ways To Handle Data Storage on The Web Client

  PouchDB: this is a wrapper around IndexedDB and WebSQL which is compatible with your backend CouchDB setup. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Building an offline-first app with React and CouchDB

  PouchDB is a JavaScript database usable on both the browser and server, heavily inspired by CouchDB. It's a powerful database already thanks to a great API, but its ability to sync with one or more databases makes it a no-brainer for offline capable apps. By enabling PouchDB to sync with CouchDB, we can focus on writing data directly in PouchDB and it will take care of syncing that data with CouchDB, eventually.... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Is it possible to bundle a SQlite database file into a ReactJS web application using webpack?

  I'm not going to go into whether you should or shouldn't do that, it completely depends on your use case. Now, on how to do it - you can't use SQLite in a web app. Your best bet is indexeddb, which is very well suported https://caniuse.com/indexeddb or WebSQL, which is less-so https://caniuse.com/?search=websql or perhaps something like https://pouchdb.com/.

• PDF Reviewer (3) - The Architecture

  The Viewer. It serves a PDF viewer which is built on top of the Mozilla PDF.js library. Another component is the PouchDB library, which we use to store annotations locally. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• I could use design advice

  You should try nosql but instead of Mongooose I'd suggest going against the grain a bit and look at PouchDB. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What's considered non-trivial?

  I would definitely hone in on React if that is your choice of frameworks. Nodejs is a good choice for server side as well. If you're looking to stay purely js, I saw https://pouchdb.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best way to make an offline-first React app supporting web + desktop + mobile?

  For data storage / syncing I plan to use RTK for app state (auth, ui, note edits) and possibly PouchDB for persistent local state and built-in syncing to a CouchDB server. My other option would be to just persist local data with SQLite, and roll my own logic to sync that to an SQL server. Source: about 2 years ago

• An observable Database for the Web

  Yes, a similar and more popular solution like this is PouchDB, and looking at the example of the library this is a wrapper over PouchDB. Looking at stars for PouchDB on GitHub (14k) it really popular solution. And RxDB just adds the Reactive part. Source: over 2 years ago

• Homebase

  It sounds like a database that both exists in the cloud and locally on your device. Which sounds useful! But then, PouchDB already exists: https://pouchdb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• About Offline First

  A bit offtrack - does anybody know how rxdb differs from PouchDB? https://pouchdb.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Challenges with Offline First Framework

  So I am building a project using databases called CouchDB & PouchDB. I have talked them first here where PouchDB was giving me trouble, it turned out be me not knowing my javascript good enough. 🙈. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• [Need Advice] Making a quiz maker website

  Personally, I prefer using CouchDB for server side storage and PouchDB.js on the client side because you can start making your app and storing your data with just PouchDB and run it entirely in your web browser. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Don’t we all just want to use SQL on the front end?

  Not SQL, but https://pouchdb.com/ looks like a better version of this. Also not SQL, IndexedDB [0] Seems like a well-supported [1] document database built into the browser would beat LocalStorage in almost every way. That's what I've found in my experience at least. Maybe SQL just isn't the right tool on either the frontend or the backend? [0] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_A... [1]... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Persisting Files in Javascript (React) Applications

  IndexedDB API is low-level and may seem a bit daunting to use to some. For this reason, libraries such as localForage, dexie.js, ZangoDB, PouchDB, idb, idb-keyval, JsStore and lovefield provide a simpler API that makes IndexedDB more programmer-friendly. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
